One night the stationmaster heard a noise in the yard. He went outside and looked around. It was dark b 1 he could see a small boy on a pile of coal. The boy had a bag and he was p 2 coal into it. The stationmaster went n 3 and waited. When the boy jumped down, the stationmaster caught him. Peter couldn’t run away because the stationmaster was holding his arm.
“A t 4!” said the stationmaster looking at the bag of coal in Peter’s hand.
“I’m not,” replied Peter quickly. “I’m a coal miner.”
“A coal miner? Come on! I’m taking you to the police station.”
“Oh, no!” a little voice said from b 5 a truck.
“Not the police station!” said another.
Bobbie and Phyllis were afraid and came out. The stationmaster lighted a candle and looked at all three children c 6. “Well, well, well!” his voice was kind now, not angry. “Aren’t you the three children from the white house on the hill over there? Don’t you know that it’s wrong to s 7, young man?”
“But there’s a lot of coal here,” replied Peter. “It’s very cold in our house and Mother said we were too p 8 to have a fire.”
The stationmaster looked at the children for a minute and then said, “Well, go back home now. It’s late. Your mother is probably worried about you. But r 9! My coal is my coal—it isn’t y 10! Stealing is stealing! Now go home!”

这是一篇记叙类首字母填空题，解题时首先要通读全文梳理完整故事脉络：站长深夜在车站院子发现动静，抓住了正在往袋子里装煤的男孩Peter，躲起来的另外两个孩子也随后现身，站长得知孩子们家中贫寒没法生火取暖后放他们回家，同时严肃告诫他们偷窃是不对的。接下来逐个结合空格前后的语义逻辑、首字母提示，同时匹配对应的语法规则、固定搭配推导合适的单词，还要注意动词时态变形、词性转换等细节，全部填完后再通读全文验证语义是否通顺、语法是否合规即可。
【解析】
1. 空前描述“天很黑”，空后描述“他能看到煤堆上的小男孩”，前后是转折逻辑，结合首字母b，填转折连词but。
2. 固定搭配put...into...表示“把……放进”，空前有was，是过去进行时结构was+doing，结合首字母p，填put的动名词形式putting。
3. 此处表示站长走近男孩等着抓他，结合首字母n，near/nearer都可表达“走近、靠近”的含义，符合语境。
4. 站长看到男孩手里装着煤的袋子，直接认定对方是小偷，结合首字母t，填名词thief。
5. 后文提到两个孩子之后走出来，说明他们之前躲在卡车的后方，结合首字母b，填方位介词behind。
6. 空格处修饰动词短语looked at，需要用副词，指点着蜡烛仔细打量三个孩子，结合首字母c，填副词carefully。
7. 站长教育男孩要知道偷窃是错误的，空前是不定式符号to，后面加动词原形，结合首字母s，填动词steal。
8. 固定结构too...to...表示“太……而不能”，此处描述家里太穷没法生火取暖，结合首字母p，填形容词poor。
9. 站长放孩子们回家，同时提醒他们要记住规则，本句是祈使句，用动词原形开头，结合首字母r，填remember。
10. 空格后没有接名词，需要用名词性物主代词指代“你们的煤”，结合首字母y，填yours。
【答案】
1. but 2. putting 3. near/nearer 4. thief
5. behind 6. carefully 7. steal 8. poor
9. remember 10. yours

Mrs Darling is playing the piano. Peter didn’t know the tune, *Home, Sweet Home*, b 2 he knows it’s saying, “Come back, Wendy, Wendy, Wendy.” Peter looks through the door and sees two big tears in Mrs Darling’s eyes.

这是一篇名著《彼得·潘》节选的首字母填空题，解题时首先要通读全文梳理故事脉络：彼得·潘原本想留住温迪一行人永留梦幻岛，最终被温迪母亲的爱意打动选择开窗，让孩子们顺利回家。接下来结合每空的首字母提示，联系前后文的逻辑关系、语法规则逐一推导答案：先判断空格所需的词性，再结合上下文语义匹配对应首字母的单词，最后验证单词形式是否符合时态、句式要求即可。
【解析】
1. 根据后文“Then when Wendy comes back, she will think her mother doesn’t love her anymore”以及后文“Then he opens the window.”的反向提示，可知彼得一开始的想法是关上窗户，祈使句用动词原形，首字母S，填Shut。
2. 前文“Peter didn’t know the tune”和后文“he knows it’s saying, ‘Come back, Wendy, Wendy, Wendy.’”是转折关系，表“但是”，首字母b，填but。
3. 前文提到“她爱温迪，我也爱温迪”，逻辑上两个人不可能同时拥有温迪，表“不能”，首字母c，填can't。
4. 前文提到“sees two big tears in Mrs Darling’s eyes”，这里承接表示眼泪还挂在她的眼睛上，首字母e，填eyes。
5. 前文提到彼得最终选择打开窗户，所以孩子们到家时发现窗户是开着的，作宾语补足语表状态，首字母o，填open。
6. 根据后文“She thinks she is dreaming.”可知达林太太以为自己在做梦，什么话都没说，表“没有什么”，首字母n，填nothing。
7. 根据后文“Why isn’t their mother happy to see them again?”可知孩子们看到妈妈的反应很疑惑、担心，首字母w，填worried。
8. 前文提到她原本以为自己在做梦，现在孩子们喊她，她意识到自己不再是在做梦了，此处是现在进行时，首字母d，填dreaming。
9. 语境是彼得站在窗边看着团聚的一家人，主语Peter是第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语动词用三单形式，首字母w，填watches。
10. 前文“Many years pass”提示很多年过去，温迪已经长大了，grow up的现在完成时结构用过去分词，首字母g，填grown。
【答案】
